.... provides a signal, such as a light or tone. This "feedback" is supposed to teach the child to increase certain kinds of brain-wave activity and decrease other types. Training usually involves 40-80 sessions, each lasting 40 minutes or more. This "treatment" costs $3,000 to $6,000. The studies which suggest impressive results for EEG Biofeedback are seriously flawed. Sample sizes were small and appropriate control groups were not used to determine if any results are due to maturation or an "expectancy" effect. Did you know that a large number of studies have examined the l .....

.... egg is fertilized the level of estrogen and progesterone must remain high so the endometrium is not shed. The outer layer of the egg mass(blastocyct) produces a hormone(HCG) to maintain the corpus luteum for the first 3 months of pregnancy so it can provide high levels of estrogen and progesterone. After the third month the placenta provides enough estrogen and progesterone to maintain the endometrium and also to inhibit further ovulation. Conception is when the egg and the sperm meet in the oviduct to form the zygote. If the egg or the sperm have any chromosome abnormalities t .....

.... show was taken off the air in 1993 because of sponsers. Records of types of disorders are unknown along with many of other records of treatments to people inflicted with a disorder. This is mainly because in the early 1900's people thought that people with disorders were just stupid and they did not investigate further into the matter. The quanity of people that have a disorder is unknown. There is an estimated guess that 15% of the U.S. population has some sort of disorder but that is not factual. This is because the survey people only can estimate from the people who .....

.... direct effects on the developing fetus. Pre-clinical studies suggest that maternal smoking during pregnancy produces changes on the offspring's neural functioning, including reductions in uptake of serotonin, alterations in dopaminergic systems, alterations in peripheral and central noradrenergic neurons, and changes in DNA and RNA synthesis in the brain (9). Children prenatally exposed to nicotine consistently score lower in the two subcategories of expressive language and conceptual comprehension. Evidence from studies of human neonates suggests that maternal smoking duri .....

.... on smoking. The government frequently inspects items sold to the American public. Commercial products that may be dangerous such as food, cars, and toys have been recalled in order for alterations. In the August 1995 issue of consumer reports, twenty-four products were recalled because of possible dangers to the consumer. These products included a car that may lose a wheel while in motion, a hair dryer that poses a fire hazard, and cookies that can cause an allergic reaction. (Consumer Reports, 500) Yet, the sale of cigarettes, known to be unsafe, has never been prohibited by .....

.... school offices have become virtual noon-time pharmacies. At one Ottawa-area board of education, the number of medications dispensed to students by office administrators has increased 20 per cent over the past 18 months. A good chunk of those pills are Ritalin. "We always worry that we're a half-step away from giving someone the wrong dosage," says John Beatty, the board's superintendent of school operations(Ritalin Boy). "In certain school systems there's been a teacher who has seen it work and they'll start suggesting it as an option for all children who are acting out," .....

.... in more sleep. Perhaps if one were to wake up before the rest of the world they would have peace and quiet which would give them an opportunity to read which could make one more wise, but who can really learn that early in the morning? Who exactly is going to become wealthier as a result of going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier? I think that the average business person would become less wealthy as a result of going to bed and getting up early. It would be pointless for a company to open before the average consumer is even awake and it would be foolish to miss out o .....

.... conservative bloc would never explicitly adopt such reasoning, because the First Amendment forbids the establishment of religion. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed, for the first time in the history of nations, that each person exists as an end in himself. This basic truth which finds political expression in the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means in practical terms that you need no one's permission to live and that no one may forcibly obstruct your efforts to achieve your own personal happiness. But what if happiness becomes impossible .....
